Biography

Ann (Wheeler) Musilloway immigrated to New England as a child during the Puritan Great Migration (1621-1640).

Parentage; Date and Place of Birth

Ann Wheeler, the daughter of John Wheeler and Agnes/Annes/Anne (Yeoman) Wheeler, was baptized on May 13, 1621 at St. Edmund's in Salisbury, Wiltshire, England.^[1][2][3]

Immigration; Initial Residency in New England

As discussed in his profile, Ann's father, John Wheeler, probably immigrated to New England in 1639 (or perhaps a bit earlier), and Ann probably accompanied him. Since John Wheeler and his family initially setted in Salisbury, Massachusetts and remained there until about 1650,^[4] Ann no doubt lived in Salisbury until she got married.

Marriage

Ann married Aquila Chase. Their marriage is confirmed by the will of Ann's father, John Wheeler, which included a bequest to "my daughter Anne Chase."^[5][6]

Based on the estimated date of birth of their first child (1645), Ann and Aquila were probably married about 1644. Their place of marriage is uncertain. Aquila was a resident of Hampton at that time, but Ann's parents were living in Salisbury, Massachusetts,^[4] so they may have been married there.

Removal to Newbury

Ann and Aquila moved from Hampton to Newbury in the summer of 1646. The time of their move is established in part by a court case. At a Quarter Court in March of 1646, a presentment was made accusing Ann, Aquila and their brother-in-law David Wheeler, all then residents of Hampton, of having gathered peas on the Sabbath.^[7] At the Quarter Court in March 1647, however, it was reported that the constable of Hampton had been unable to present the summons because they had moved to Newbury.^[8] All three were admonished at a court the following March.^[9]

Ann and Aquila had the following children:
